Have You Heard Dolly Parton Cover Queen Yet?

Dolly Parton will release Rockstar in November. It is the country mogul's first foray into the rock space. On that album is the Queen cover of "We Will Rock You/We Are The Champions." The song will be used for the 2024 Olympics in Paris. The video is cheesy and kind of fun and definitely positive.

I am forever jealous of Dolly's use of rhinestones everywhere!

Well This Is Ridiculous (Rock Hall, Of Course)

I am so glad it is Friday. Talk about a long, frustrating work week. The work itself is fine. I just had constant battles with technology, day after day. I'm so tired of it, I took the afternoon off, and I am looking forward to resting and going to happy hour with Eric.

So the other day, patron Queen of awesome Dolly Parton bowed out of her Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nomination... for not being a rock artist. Now the Rock Hall says tough, you're still nominated and you're going to like it. So what happens if and when Dolly makes the cut? Does she attend the induction ceremony or refuse again? Would that make her look bad in all this? Insanity.

Dolly Parton Is All Class, True Queen

Dolly Parton was part of this year's nominees for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. This morning, she pulled herself out of contention for voting because she didn't feel like she'd "earned the honor." She says that someday she hopes to make a rock album and I bet we would all love it! I have to disagree with Dolly, though. I think she's earned the honor and should be inducted! So many people in the Hall have done way less for popular music (and the world, in general) than Dolly. She remains Queen of us all.

Dolly Parton declined a nomination for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, saying she is not yet "worthy" and doesn't want to split votes for other nominees.

2022 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Nominees Announced

The nominees are in for the 2022 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. To me, it's an odd and unbalanced list. Judas Priest is on the list and they should get in, as should the New York Dolls. Rage Against The Machine will get in I'm sure and Dolly Parton should be welcome absolutely anywhere, always. What do you think about the list - and who will get in?

Congratulations to the #RockHall2022 Nominees. Read more about our new crew at https://t.co/e8fGw8H24L pic.twitter.com/hscib6c5Bt
